Bangkok Today

Bangkok at the moment is a tourist hot spot. The tourism industry is heavily promoted by the government and people like what Bangkok has to offer. Bangkok is the perfect manifestation of east meets west. Whilst locals party hard in the many clubs, discos and bars and shop till they drop in some of the most modern shopping centers in the world they also are extremely conservative and have deep respect for their traditions and culture evident from the reverence for the Royal family and the religious sites and monuments where they pay homage to Buddha.
